HIRING A PROFESSIONAL VS. DOING IT YOURSELF
During the home-selling process, time is the most common concern and limiting factor among homeowners. To conserve as much time as possible, you will want to delegate as many tasks as possible so that you can focus on other essential aspects of your move. A professional home stager can be a real lifesaver. Staging experts have often acquired valuable experience that they can pass on to your home to increase its saleability. A staging professional or firm will create a theme in each room to compliment the layout, bring in the furniture and home decor needed to complete those themes throughout the house, and give you tips to use when showing the house, such as what kind of fresh flowers to buy or scented candles to burn. Consider that a staging expert or firm will provide the workforce needed to do the heavy lifting and moving of furniture throughout the house. If any damage happens in the process, the stager covers the cost of repairs. On the other hand, staging the home yourself could save you money and allow you to add more personality to the theme. Having lived in the house yourself, you are more familiar with its pros and cons indoors and outdoors. For example, if you need more light in a particular room at certain times or ensure the lawn is treated for weeds to keep them from sprouting overnight, you know your home best. Your goal is to gain the highest return on investment when your house sells. If you can do this by staging on your own, you can go for it; otherwise, you can spend a little extra on a professional upfront to reap the benefits of the sale.
